?Chapter 561:


    After reading Xander’s message, Marissa felt even more puzzled. rissa didn’t know that Marissa was both ck Mallow and ck Snake. She only saw Marissa as Tiffany. Despite being the president of the Peridot Consortium and wielding immense wealth and power, why hadn’t rissa directly harmed Tiffany, who appeared so vulnerable?


    Marissa’s investigations had shown rissa to be a cold-hearted person, and her actions were often swayed by her whims rather than fear. It seemed unlikely that she would hesitate to harm someone. What protection did Tiffany, often dismissed as a loser, possess that rissa might fear?


    As these questions lingered in Marissa’s mind, Xander exined, “I overheard rissa’s trusted assistant mention that rissa’s boss holds Tiffany in high regard. He even issued a directive recently that no one is to harm Tiffany. Anyone who disobeys will face severe consequences.”


    This revtion shed some light on Marissa. The sudden disdain rissa harbored towards Tiffany stemmed from jealousy—her boss held Tiffany in high regard, sparking rissa’s envy and subsequent hatred.


    Yet, understanding this only led Marissa to another problem. Based on what she knew, it wasn’t clear whether rissa’s boss cared about the real Tiffany or Marissa, who was currently impersonating her.


    If the boss valued the real Tiffany, it meant that Tiffany had previously encountered this influential figure. If it was Marissa under the guise of Tiffany that he valued, then he must be someone she had recently met.

    Considering recent interactions, Marissa only recalled meeting one notable figure, Paul Alvarado, the proprietor of the Sunrise. He had half-jokingly suggested once that she should be his daughter. Could Paul be the mysterious boss behind rissa?


    However, if Paul was the boss, it made little sense for rissa to confuse her with the real Tiffany, as Marissa had already disclosed her true identity to Paul. Both Paul and Elvis were aware that she was Marissa.


    While Marissa was deep in thought, Xander sent another message, saying, “Chief Instructor, I wonder why rissa’s boss cares about Tiffany. What could Tiffany, deemed a loser, possibly offer to catch such a prominent figure’s interest?”


    Marissa hadn’t figured it out yet, and even if she had, she wasn’t inclined to disclose everything about her sister to Xander. So, Marissa scolded Xander, “Is such a sophisticated question really something you need to worry about as a fool?”


    Xander replied with a smiley emoji.


    Marissa typed, “Let’s continue discussing A and Sansa.”


    Xander replied, “Understood, Chief Instructor. rissa is intimidated by her boss, so she avoids directly harming Tiffany. Instead, she brought A and Sansa under her influence and nned to use them to target Tiffany.


    It’s well known that A and Sansa deeply hate Tiffany. By using them, rissa could orchestrate harm against Tiffany without any direct link to herself.”


    Marissa typed, “I’m puzzled about one thing. A and Sansa hate Tiffany intensely, and rissa can manipte them to act against Tiffany. While this strategy absolves rissa of direct me, what significant harm can A and Sansa, who are rtively powerless, really manage to inflict?”


    Xander typed, “That’s the point. rissa needed a usible means to eliminate Tiffany. A and Sansa were desperate, so they quickly aligned with rissa when she approached them. After some covert discussions, they struck a deal.”


    Marissa typed, “What kind of deal?”


    Xander responded, “rissa agreed to provide substantial financial and material support to A and Sansa, but in return, they have to act as her weapons. These two were blunt swords initially, hardly capable of making a significant impact on Tiffany, so rissa nned to ‘sharpen’ them using specific methods.”


    Marissa typed, “Stop skirting around. Give me the details.”


    Xander typed, “Alright, Chief Instructor. Here’s the detailed n they devised.”
